"Scientists tell us this disease, originally thought to have affected only boxers, then later professional football players who'd suffered concussions affects far more Americans than that." https://t.co/f10Dcj0qhp

​“This includes peoplewho have never​sustainedeven one concussion,includingmilitary personnelwho have beenexposed to an explosion,as well as anyonewho's beenrepeatedly ​hit...​such as victimsof domestic abuse.”

Yeah, 10% is the absolute bare minimum, 20% is the minimum for the extraordinary level of selection bias of 461 times more likely. But even if those with CTE were 118 times more likely to donate their brains (also quite high), the prevalence would be closer to 1 in 2. Very scary.

At some point we need to admit this is downright immoral. This guy makes $4.5m on the safety of the sidelines, and the kids get ZERO while submitting their brains to life altering trauma. https://t.co/SSKyDyGTLf

Out of the 110 brains with CTE, 95 had "severe" (stages III or IV) and 110 "mild" (stages I or II). So the study includes all four stages, but it is worth noting that the majority of the NFL brains in BU's sample had stage III or IV CTE. https://t.co/dwzFcN6WjZpic.twitter.com/D8l6cZsiAQ

New research estimates a minimum of 10% of NFL players will eventually develop CTE. BUSM's Jesse Mez, MD, referred to the new research saying, "It starts to provide...a ballpark for what the prevalence of the disease among NFL players might be." https://t.co/Bqs8Mp19WC

"However, the story of corporate partnerships with schools is more than just about profits. The increasing commercialization of education has larger societal implications.…Schools hold a very special place in our society. They help shape the attitudes and skillsof future generations, and, more importantly, they help prepare students to be future participants ​in the labor market.This Article explores how corporate partnerships with schools affect the development of students as future workers,and argues that the pervasive corporate influence in public education is detrimentalto students and to society."
